Real you
Hiding behind a guise
a smile or a frown turned upside down,
No emotion can be hindered
No intricate thought found.
A life of fiction
facts buried away,
Further from reality each and every day.
Perpetrator of fraud a picture of a thousand lies,
Sharing the real you
means a secrets tragic demise.
A path to nowhere
a road that never ends,
As long as the unknowing pretend to be your friends.
Sharing the real you
means your ever so soft cheeks have felt tears,
A frown turned upside down is all of your hidden fears.
Beyond the pictures the stories the places you have been,
There is a real you
just realize you no longer have to pretend.
a smile or a frown turned upside down,
No emotion can be hindered
No intricate thought found.
A life of fiction
facts buried away,
Further from reality each and every day.
Perpetrator of fraud a picture of a thousand lies,
Sharing the real you
means a secrets tragic demise.
A path to nowhere
a road that never ends,
As long as the unknowing pretend to be your friends.
Sharing the real you
means your ever so soft cheeks have felt tears,
A frown turned upside down is all of your hidden fears.
Beyond the pictures the stories the places you have been,
There is a real you
just realize you no longer have to pretend.

Or they want to pretend they\'re beyond what society inflicts on people. We\'re all human and the real us should be broadcast because that\'s how we learn from one another
